import ShareMenu, { ShareMenuReactView } from "react-native-share-menu";
type SharedItem = {
mimeType: string,
data: string,
extraData: any,
};
const Test = () => {
const [sharedData, setSharedData] = useState(null);
const [sharedMimeType, setSharedMimeType] = useState(null);
const handleShare = useCallback((item: ?SharedItem) => {
if (!item) {
return;
}
const { mimeType, data, extraData } = item;
setSharedData(data);
setSharedMimeType(mimeType);
// You can receive extra data from your custom Share View
console.log(extraData);
}, []);
useEffect(() => {
ShareMenu.getInitialShare(handleShare);
}, []);
useEffect(() => {
const listener = ShareMenu.addNewShareListener(handleShare);
return () => {
listener.remove();
};
}, []);
if (!sharedMimeType && !sharedData) {
// The user hasn't shared anything yet
return null;
}
if (sharedMimeType === "text/plain") {
// The user shared text
return Shared text: {sharedData};
}
if (sharedMimeType.startsWith("image/")) {
// The user shared an image
return (
Shared image:
);
}
// The user shared a file in general
return (
Shared mime type: {sharedMimeType}
Shared file location: {sharedData}
);
};
const Share = () => {
const [sharedData, setSharedData] = useState("");
const [sharedMimeType, setSharedMimeType] = useState("");
useEffect(() => {
ShareMenuReactView.data().then(({ mimeType, data }) => {
setSharedData(data);
setSharedMimeType(mimeType);
});
}, []);
return (
{
ShareMenuReactView.dismissExtension();
}}
/>
{
// Share something before dismissing
ShareMenuReactView.dismissExtension();
}}
